In March 2010, the 8,000th item was added to the Digital Library. In April 2008 the Digital Library uploaded the 4,000th item, so in less than two years the collection size has doubled.

The title is from the Joseph McGarrity Book Collection and it is a newly purchased book from 1911: Standing rules and regulations for the government and guidance of the Royal Irish Constabulary, the Irish police force prior to Irish independence.

Villanova University’s Digital Library initiative assembles, presents and preserves digital collections that support the teaching and research of the campus and the global community of scholars.
